In the analysis of high-resolution Doppler-free two-photon hyperfine-structure (hfs) measurements of levels in the Eu I term {sup 6}D of the configuration 4{ital f}{sup 7}6{ital s}6{ital d} of {sup 151}Eu and {sup 153}Eu the necessity occurs to take into account also hfs perturbations. For the magnetic hfs interactions of {sup 151}Eu, the following off-diagonal matrix elements {sup 151}{ital A}{sub 1}({ital JJ}{prime}) could be determined from the high-resolved two-photon line profiles: {sup 151}{ital A}{sub 1}(1/2,3/2)=5.70(3) GHz, {sup 151}{ital A}{sub 1}(3/2,5/2)=4.3(2) GHz, {sup 151}{ital A}{sub 1}(5/2,7/2)=2.9(2) GHz, {sup 151}{ital A}{sub 1}(7/2,9/2)=2.2(2) GHz. The high quality of the calculations is represented both in the reproducibility of the absolute hfs level energies and also in the hfs anomaly where a mean value deduced from the corrected magnetic hfs constants of {minus}0.66(8)% can be stated.
